Ruben H. Bravo was born on October 16, 1946, in Waco, Texas, to Joe Bravo and Ester Hernandez Bravo. Throughout his life, Ruben dedicated himself to serving the community through his work with the City of Waco. After retiring, he continued to support others by taking on a role in security. His commitment to helping those around him truly reflected his caring nature.

His sisters Minerva Chavez and husband Abel Chavez of Waco, Elvira Bravo and husband Frank Colon of Puerto Rico, Margie Pike and husband Jim Pike of Colorado, and Teresa Bravo of Waco

He leaves behind his cherished daughter, Michelle Bravo, and Andrew Mansolo of Waco, as well as sons Vincent Bravo, Michael Bravo, and wife Anna Bravo all of Waco. Ruben's legacy continues through his beloved grandchildren: Angelo Guerrero, Miranda Palomo, Sebastian Bravo and his wife Alicia Bravo, Arieanna and Alandria King, Michaela Bravo, Michael Bravo Jr., Leopoldo Cardenas and his wife Jasmine Cardenas, Angel Cardenas, and Christian Cardenas. He was also blessed with several great-grandchildren, who brought him immense joy.
